97 (2) Ojas (P. 91, 1. 11)' : Vamana? defines this guna thus: Compactness of composition (or style) is Floridity (Ojas). The ill. of Ojas is: (p. 91, 1. 17) vilulitamarkaranda manjarir nartayanti'). Viveka points out that in this ill. Ojas is tempered with a sprinkling of Saithilya (looseness) and it contains Prasada also. Pure Floridity is illustrated at (p. 91, 1. 21): dor dandancita-candra-sekhara-dhanur dandavabhangodyatah etc. / where there is pure Floridity, unmixed with Perspicuity (Prasada). (P. 91, 1. 25) Dandi defines Ojas thus: "Floridity consists in a super-abundance of compounds. That is of manifold varieties in accordance with the profusion or sparceness of heavy or of light syllables or with an equal) mixture of them...."3 The ill is (p. 91, 1. 26): asta-mastaka-paryasta-samstarkamsu-samstara / pina-stana-sthitatamra-kamra-vastreva varuni 4 // (p. 91, 1, 27) The Gaudas employ Floridity even in verse, but the Vaidarbhas also indulge in Ojas if it contributes to charm and does not get involved. 5 (3) Prasada (p. 92, 1. 1) : Mammata defines Prasada (Perspicuity) thus: That is the quality of perspicuity whereby the meaning is compre. hended as soon as the words are heard : it is common to all (Rasas and styles). 6 (p. 92, 1, 4) Perspicuity is defined as 'looseness' by Vamana ?. It may be argued that this is a dosa as it is contrary to Ojas (Floridity), (for Vamana defines dosa as guna-vi paryayatma i. e. whatever is contrary to a guna is a dosa). The reply' is that it is a guna as it is blended with Floridity (Ojas), though pure looseness would be a blemish. The blending of the two is a matter proved by experience. Floridity 1.
